Despite the disasters of Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria and ever more
visible evidence of the horrors of war, the concepts of
'Humanitarian Intervention' and 'Just War' enjoy widespread
legitimacy and continue to exercise an unshakeable grip on our
imaginations. Robin Dunford and Michael Neu provide a clear and
comprehensive critique of both Just War Theory and the
Responsibility to Protect (R2P) doctrine, deconstructing the
philosophical, moral and political arguments that underpin them. In
doing so, they show how proponents of Just War and R2P have tended
to treat killing in a way which obscures the complex and often
messy reality of war, and pays little heed to the human impact of
such conflicts. Going further, they provide answers to such
difficult questions as 'Surely it would have been just for us to
intervene in the Rwandan genocide?' An essential guide to one of
the most difficult moral and political issues of our age.
